Yoga is one of the most complete disciplines there is for both physical and mental heal.
One of the key things that yoga practice does for you is to increase the oxygen content in your blood stream. The yoga breathing techniques with deep, controlled inhalation and respiration bring fresh, oxygen containing air into your lungs where the exchange occurs and the oxygen passes into your system, a nutrient for all of your vital organs, including your brain. Yoga puts such importance on breathing that it even specifies breathing exercises specifically for the left and the right nostrils. By breathing in through the left nostril for example, you direct oxygen-enriched blood to the opposite side of your brain, that is to say the right side, where you typically do your creative and intuitive thinking. If you want to develop your logical thought processes, then yoga suggests that you breathe through your right nostril to get your left half of the brain into action. Incidentally, either exercise will also develop the cross brain communication as well as you work.
Yoga for thinking as well as doing

Yoga also extends into the realms of philosophy with its concepts such as mindfulness, a technique designed to develop calmness and relaxation. This technique is built on the notion of putting mentally interfering concerns and stresses at a distance to prevent the polluting effect that these things can have on mental well-being. Mindfulness also positively enhances other faculties such as the ability to focus constructively, to take better decisions more quickly and to do this in a relaxed mental state. If you think back to the last time that you had to take a decision under pressure, you’ll see what a valuable tool this can be.
These benefits extend into more energy and a more positive outlook. Yoga practitioners often speak of mental stability and performance that they never knew before starting yoga, with the reduction in the number of mood swings that often reduce a person’s capability to function effectively. When you consider that the number of mood changes per day can attain 200 on a regular basis, you can see that this can represent a wasteful and unnecessary distraction. This positive spiral of mood stabilization, positive thoughts and focus then brings yet more advantages, such as the easier memorization of information.
